In this menu, you can perform media feed and check the degree of skew in the media feed operation by
means of the sensors.
When you select this item from the Adjustment menu, the machine feeds the length specified by the
operation panel and checks for media feed skew by comparing the media edge positions before and after the
media feed detected by the sensors.

Notes :

Before performing skew check, ensure that the media is set correctly.
Since the reference position where media has been set is determined the first time the
media left edge is detected, errors may result as follows if the media is not setup
correctly.

Media errors occur during skew check and the operation stops.
"Undefined Media" occurs frequently during media initialization when the power is
turned on or media is cut.

end Check complete.

5.5.4.1Head slant adjustment

Step 1 : Start the self-diagnostic function.

Notes :

Refer to Self-Diagnosis Function

Step 2 : Select "Adj:HeadSlant".

Step 3 : Print "Slant" pattern.
If dotted lines on pattern CW and CCW are not a straight line, which you can check with a
magnifying glass (enlargement of at least 10), please go to step 4.

Notes :

When the printing pattern is printed, you will only see lines, and no notifications of ink
channels. The head sequence shown below.

4 head model: 1A, 1B, 2A, 2B, 3A, 3B, 4A, 4B

Step 4 : Loosen the screw (with one turn) fixing the head stationary plate.

AP-74096, Rev. 1.0, 09/06/05

Step 5 : Make adjustments until amount of CW and CCW offset are identical.

Notes :

In theory, the alignment of CW and CCW should be identical. But in practice, it is
almost impossible to become a perfect alignment. When there is a slight difference
between CW and CCW, be sure the heads are well seated.

In case you only print uni directional, adjust the CW till it is aligned perfectly.
In case you print bi-directional, and CW and CCW cannot be aligned more perfectly.
Divide the fault equally.

When printing the pattern, the head identifications 1A, 1B etc, are not printed.
Analyse the pattern as shown below. Be sure to have five lines for each color.

When loading Spitfire ink cassettes with smart-chip, it is possible that you get the message not original ink.
If this is the case, please proceed as follow :

Step 1 : Remove the ink cassette.

Step 2 : Take a closer look at the smart-chip.

Step 3 : There are some lines on the smart-chip made by the sensors in the cartridge box.

Nr. Part
1 Cassette
2 Smart-chip
3 Lines made by the sensors in the cartridge box

Step 4 : There are three possibilities.

Situation 1: The lines are in the middle

This is the perfect situation; the one which should be obtained.

Situation 2: The lines are lying on the black lines

This is the situation when the printer will display the message. No original ink. The sensors do
not detect the smart chip because the sensors do not touch the copper. This problem can be
solved easily. Move the smart-chip a few millimetres above, so that the sensor lines lie in the
middle of the black lines as in situation 1.


185
AP-74096, Rev. 1.0, 09/06/05

Situation 3: The lines are lying a just above the black line

The sensor will sometimes give contact with the smart-ship, but not always.
So it is possible that the printer, even during printing, displays the message No original ink.
Again, move the smart-chip a few millimetres above, so that the sensor lines lie in the middle of
the black lines as in situation 1.

Step 5 : Reposition the smart-chip in case of situation 2 or 3 in function of the cartridge box and its
tolerance. Be sure to obtain the first situation, where the lines lie in between the black lines.

Caution:

All dimensions should be respected. There is only a little tolerance on the
dimensions 2.2 mm and 33.4 mm because of the tolerance on the cartridge box.

Tips

Safety relay

On the powerboard is a safety relay that will switch 220 or 110V to the solid state relays whenever the
Spitfire is powered off. This is to prevent that defective solid state relays can make the heatstrips overheat
and melt its fuses.

Buzzer:

1 small beep for each heater that reached the desired temperature.
3 short beeps when heater accepts new data coming from the Spitfire.
4 seconds beep => error.

Heater D

In case of a defective fuse on a D-heater, check for isolation on the temperature sensors. Some machines
were released without isolation patches on the temperature sensors and cause the strips to overheat.

Heater A

In earlier machines strips were mounted with a fuse with a critical, narrow margin. Please do not pass 48C
in the menu setting. This will be solved in successive firmware releases after 1.04.

FLAT Strip

In case of a DIY replacement of a heatstrip, make sure that the strip is flatly mounted! Air gaps between strip
and plate can cause overheating and cause fire!

Firmware Bugs

Check the firmware division for these.
